Reliance is ‘killing’ JioCinema for Disney+ Hotstar, these may be the likely ‘three reasons’
Reliance Industries Ltd will merge Star India and Viacom18, retaining Disney+ Hotstar as the sole streaming platform, absorbing JioCinema. The merger approval sees Reliance favor Disney+ Hotstar’s superior tech infrastructure. Post-merger, Disney+ Hotstar will stream IPL 2025.
